The Sony Walkman, the earliest prototype of which came out in the early 1980s, is considered an invention that defined an entire generation. For the first time, Pink Floyd t-shirt wearing, Led Zeppelin-tattooed rockers crooned along to Janet Jackson without public ignominy. By the 1990s, even the baby boomers listened, under the veil of secrecy of their ear phones, to the “touchy-feely” Nirvana, accelerating the demise of the then wildly popular toxic machismo of the hair metal bands. By 2019, the humble soundbox with an extension cord had spurred the growth of a multi-billion podcast industry, where Google and Amazon fought for slices, and internet’s biggest sensation in a decade—Joe Rogan.
